Heart of China 1991 Adventure
This romantic adventure is somewhat reminiscent of films such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Guide former WWI ace Jake Masters through 1930s Asia as he attempts to rescue the beautiful Kate Lomax, the kidnapped daughter of a ruthless American land baron. The game uses a point and click system for interaction and object manipulation. The storyline twists and turns throughout the game's 72-hour timespan, and many puzzles have multiple solutions. There are also optional short arcade sequences. ...
Lucky's Casino 1993 Strategy
Probably the least known game from QQP (famous for wargames such as The Perfect General and The Lost Admiral), Lucky's Casino is an excellent casino simulation strong enough to give Beat the House a run for its money had it been more well-known (or better promoted). In addition to the typical range of casino games (e.g. roulette, craps, slots, video poker, and baccarat), Lucky's Casino contains numerous variants of each game and a plethora of options that QQP fans are familiar with. After creating your alter ego in the game (complete with a cartoon face), you are off in search of...
Knowledge Adventure 1990 Educational
The first in the successful "Adventure" series, Knowledge Adventure is a multimedia almanac that features clever hyperlinks from one screen to the next (long before the World Wide Web was born) in the spirit of James Burke's "Connections" TV series, and a comprehensive database. Grainy graphics is the only downside. ...
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing! for Kids 1994 Educational
Designed to enable children to discover the fundamentals of typing for themselves, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing! For Kids takes place at the title character's grandparents' house, which is out in the country and surrounded by a forest. Mavis' dog Dizzy is also along for the journey. The child's job in this game is to explore the forest, the pond, and the rooms of the house (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room) by playing typing games that correspond to each area. For example: in the bathroom, the child must type fast enough to keep Dizzy in the bathtub; and in the pond,...
Laser Squad: Nemesis 2002 Strategy
Anyone who remembers the original Laser Squad will feel right at home here as, from what I can remember, not a lot has changed within the actual game mechanics. What is different, and brings a whole new lifespan to the game, is the fact that this is a Play By Email (PBEM) game. There is no single player game apart from the initial tutorial, you just have to jump right in & choose an opponent. Nemesis utilizes "we-go" gameplay, which should be familiar to tactical wargamers. In a nutshell, you make your move and, when your opponent has made his, the...
Amazon: Guardians of Eden 1992 Adventure
An underrated "cinematic adventure" by the company famous for Tex Murphy games, Amazon is a fun romp in the style of B-movies in the 50s. As a hapless scientist who willingly brave the Amazon jungles to find your missing brother, you'll find yourself glued to the screen in this frustrating game that manages to be funny despite the intentional campiness. Many pixel-hunting and real-time puzzles sometimes spoil the fun, but the cool Indiana Jones style plot and characters help make up for it somewhat. Overall, an okay adventure marred by illogical pixel-hunting puzzles and cliche writing. If you like B-movies,...
Blackjack 1984 Strategy
Blackjack is a computerized version of the casino card game. The object of the game is to get a higher count than the dealer without going over 21. You can choose an amount of money to start with, and place a bet for each hand until you either run out of money or decide to quit while ahead! The game uses 80 column text mode with ascii characters to represent the cards. ...
Heimdall 2 1994 Amiga
Heimdall 2 is without a doubt the best of its kind. It's got just the right balance between action, adventure and puzzle solving. You won't have to plod around for long before finding a quest to solve, and there will without a doubt be puzzles in there somewhere with nasty things to fight along the way. Groans only really come in the form of disk swapping grumbles - with the three disks getting a fair old work out - but other than this slight mew of disgruntlement, I've no real negative comments to make. The control system is pretty instinctive,...
Sword of Fargoal 1983 Role playing
One of the first Commodore 64 games, Sword of Fargoal is a classic Roguelike that was a considerable success for Epyx, although unfortunately the PC version was never made. The premise is quite straightforward: go down into the dungeon to retrieve the Sword of Fargoal - the only weapon that can vanquish the evil Umla. More details from the manual: "You are magically transported into the uppermost level of the dungeon with three things in your possession to aid in your quest: a short sword, a teleport spell, and a healing vial. Hope spurs you on to reach the place...
Retribution 1994 Arcade action
Decent 3D shooter from Gremlin that tries hard to enhance the immersion with Wing Commander-style 'interactive screens' between missions, but didn't quite succeed due to insipid plot and writing. The plot: as the name implies, fight to avenge the fallen of your race that have been 'harvested' by the evil Krellans (no relation to Star Fleet games). Cutscenes and digitized speech both add to the atmosphere, but unfortunately the plot doesn't get better than the very simplistic kill-the-aliens premise. Between missions, you can wander around in the base talking to different characters (who look remarkably similar to pilots in Wing...
